“We are in solidarity with Amina the Femen”

Ahlem Belhadji — 2013-06-05T20:05:48Z

In Tunisia, Amina remains in prison. The young Femen, who had posed bare-breasted on social networks, was arrested in possession of a teargas bomb, leading to her trial. On Thursday May 30, 2013, new and more serious charges were notified to her, notably that of association with malefactors. Passions run high around her case, with notably the demonstration of three European Femen arrested on Wednesday May 29 before the Tunis court after stripping off their clothes. They also risk a prison sentence. Tunisian feminist organisations have not denounced Femen, even if they do not share its methods, as Ahlem Belhadj, president of the Association tunisienne des femmes démocrates (ATFD – Tunisian Association of Democratic Women) explains [Olivier Rogez].
